The difference is deplorables own the name and wear it proudly. Snowflakes get upset and say you're the snowflake.

Look at it this way... When the investigation finds out that Trump broke the law... And lays it out for the people... Will the deplorables on the right accept it?

 

I mean... We are a nation of laws.  That's Trump ran on, right... Law and order? 

ALL of you liberal who keep spewing this "no one is above the law" bull#### need to grow up!

 

How about 11 to 20 MILLION people above YOUR LAWS!

Oh looky here, another... @Cinga is coming in for some action!  No worries my Liberal Bros... I got this:

Why would I have proof he violated:

 

18 U.S. Code § 872: “Extortion by officers or employees of the United States.”

 

That's for the investigators to figure out.

We are talking about the laws Trump broke.  Stay on topic Mr.President.

 

You missed a word in that statement. Care to venture what word that is?  And you said Laws. Which other ones?

From what I read and being a US employee, It sure sounds like he violated:

 

18 U.S. Code § 872

 

From what I read... That's 3 years in the pokey.

 

But who knows, I thought it was a pick in the New England game... But the field ref thought otherwise after looking at the video upon Bills challenge.

 

Anyway: LawS

 

18 U.S. Code § 595, when a government official, “in connection with any activity which is financed in whole or in part by loans or grants made by the United States, or any department or agency thereof, uses his official authority for the purpose of interfering with, or affecting, the nomination or the election of any candidate for the office of President.” 

 

I mean... This is why people listen in. Why there are whistleblowers.

Did I ever say they shouldn't do their job?

 

Of course I am biased.  Just like the Cheaters game.  From what I seen, I thought it was a pick.  From what I see, our president is a crook.

 

Big deal... Why is everybody on right getting their panties in a twist. Should the investigators with the whistleblower complaint... Just look the other way? No.  Congress has the right to throw the red challenge flag.  Trump doesn't seem to believe that's built into the rules.

I am not off the rails.  The right here is going ballistic.  I am going off the rails & it needs 5-6 right wing members to jump in?  Thank you very much, I need no help to go off the rails... This just ain't the time.  I am citing laws here...

 

Come on... You can see he violated: 

 

18 U.S. Code § 872 & 18 U.S. Code § 595 

 

Just by reading the transcript of the call he made to the President of Ukraine.  I guess the whistleblowers are wrong too.

 

LMAO... Did you think the Cheaters pulled a pick play on the Bills?  Okay, maybe you don't and you don't see that our President is shady.  He's the one, my boss, that's going off the rails.

You might be getting more sympathy with the whistleblower complaints if the same gang hadn't spent two full years on the phony 'Russian collusion' crap that was finally proven to be complete horseshit.   The left has been crying wolf since about 9pm on Election night, so forgive me for not jumping as high as you'd like on the current scandal of the week.

Where there is smoke, there is usually fire.

 

Why should we just be numb to the scandals? 

 

You do see the Republicans turning the clock back to the 1920s?  How well did that work out with the scandals, etc... Business, scandal, ethics, the volatile market... I said this since the start, this won't end well... Yet, everybody that leans right is so sure that a business guy is what government needs.  Sorry, I am in a crooked area where the jails are littered with businessman turned politicians. It usually doesn't end well when they try and switch ethical gears towards public service.  And don't be mistaken... We got a Democrat businessman in the governor's mansion now.  The Republicans wiffed attempting the same the last 4 years.

 

You think Clinton's make bad public servants? Moneymen even worse.

Clintons are both...making them the worst of all.  They are one step below dictators.  Biden's not far behind.  Trump's power will largely evaporate the day he leaves office.

 

You'll rarely hear me complain about reasonable regulation and you won't find anyone who advocates for harsher punishment for white collar crimes (I'd execute them right along with murderers).

I agree with this.  But they aren't worse.  I mostly agree with the second paragraph.

 

That dictatorial power Trump is cultivating is worse and will be passed on.

Name one specific way that Trump is "cultivating dictatorial power". 

 

Just one. Not something he said, not something he was rumored to have thought about doing, not something he tweeted... give one example of an actual policy or action put into place by this administration that fits that description. 

 

Go.

It's not that big of a deal.  Ramsey was going to get a deal regardless and the Bills will then reset the market again with White.  We'll have plenty of cap space to do so. 

 

Everybody is killing the Rams for this but Phillips's defense needed a shut down corner.  Ramsey is a two time pro bowler who can shut down your #1 WR away and is only 24.  The price was going to be steep.  It's similar to what the Texans gave up for Tunsil.  The Rams now have a core of young players (Goff, Gurley, Donald, Ramsey) to be competitive for at least the next three to four years.  Peters was more of a zone coverage corner who is excellent at reading the quarterback and jumping routes.  The Rams should've gotten more than a 5th round pick for him though.

 

That is why Trump broke the law.

I said: "cultivating."

 

"...Like these previous presidents, Trump hasn’t made a blatant lunge for dictatorial power. But his intermittent impulses toward autocracy have made it necessary for advisers, Congress and courts to contain him.

He argued during his campaign for the efficacy of torture and prosecuting his opponent, Hillary Clinton. He has threatened media whose coverage he found insufficiently admiring, and tried to suppress the Trump-damning book "Fire and Fury."

He proposed an un-American religious test for immigrants and refugees to ban Muslims; infected the body politic with nepotistic and business-crony appointees; shrugs off Russian meddling in our elections; and discussed a mass roundup-*****-deportation of illegal immigrants. (Arrests of undocumented immigrants surged during Trump’s first year, though not deportations as of yet.)

To top it off, the president plays fawning footsie with real dictators.

"Can It Happen Here?" discusses how Trump-like populism has left democracy wobbling in Hungary and Poland, where elected strongmen have variously packed courts and government bodies or otherwise curtailed their ability to challenge the leaders. More recently, Italian elections so rewarded far-right parties that one observer tweeted, “While we were sleeping, Putin won the Italian election.”... "

Seems to me the lawbreaking all comes down to the “purpose” for which Trump asked the Ukrainian President to work the Attorney General. Plain and simple.

the difference between normal, rational people and the cultist left is that normal, rational people will not defend Trump or anyone should it be proven that they have broken laws.  Normal, rational people also have the capacity to think for themselves and make judgements based on facts and evidence, and separate those things from what is being shoved down their throat by people and organizations with obvious agendas. 
 

case in point, anyone who read the transcript of the conversation would see that there was nothing untoward about it. At worst, he should have seen that his opponents could have twisted the discussion using their Pravda allies. But campaigning on draining the swamp and then trying to find out if the second highest elected office holder was using his position to enrich his family is exactly what he promised he would do and why people elected him. 
 

yet, the lemmings in the left cult only believe what they are told by proven liars in Congress and empty suits and mouthpieces on TV.
